"What mediciae can be . more appropriate than that which has given such general satisfaction ? The French Pills root out every particle of tbe insidious poison , purifying in their p ?^ ae Wh ° le mass of fluids - They not on ] y remove tne disease but they renovate by their action the different functions of the body—expelling the grosser humour , and in a manner so imperceptible as to convince tfec most sceptical of their astonishing and unequalled powers . They neither contain mercury nor any other mineral , and may be taken without the slightest suspicion , of discover )'; they require no restraint of diet , loss of time , or hindrance of business , but effect a complete cure without the least exposure to the patient . At any period when the slightest suspicion may exist it will be well to have recourse to tne . t rench rills ; for when taken "before the disease has made its appearance they act as a certain preventive removing the complaint effectually and secretly . The deplorable state in which many : persons hare been when visiting the Doctor ( from the nse of mercury ) Tenders it imperatively necessary to caution the public against that dangerous mineral when injudiciously administered .

JB y the arrival of thevNew ^ York paeket-, shi p Virginian yesterday , at Liverpool , we have received Njew York papers to the . 27 th ult ., ¦ bringing ^ very important and interesting ne \\ s froini thef Cahatlas . The war in Lower Canada ; is nbiy over , the insurgents of Grand Brule haying Surrendered , " with every token of repentance , while , at i St . E ^ stachV-they suffered a severe defeat . ¦ The Correspondent of the M 6 ntreaI Courier states tnat the insurgents had € C killed , and that hundreds are supposed to have " perished miserably " .. in the . "Vaults" of . the church which was set on fire by the Queen ' s troops . Besides the Church which was strongly fortifiedI' by the insurgents , the troops set fire to ; the priest ' s

house " , a nunnery , and the houses of all suspected of Radicalism in the townL This is a frightful way of carrying on war—one which must sow the . seeds of bitter recollections in the breasts of the most loyal of the Canadian people . With St . Eustaehe fell the last fortress of the- rebels in the ¦ Lower Province . In Upper Ganada M'Kenzie , with a handful of fugitive followers , has taken possession of N . avy Island , which he was doing all in his power to fortify . He is reported to have six pieces of cannon , and to receive supplies from -Buffalo ; Navy Island

is situated in the Niagara , is not more than a thou sand , acres in extent , and stands on the very border ' s of the United States . . In the mean time Sir Francis Bond Head has greatly increased ' , , his popularity by releasing his . prisoncrs , and granting a tree pardon to all who will lay down their arms except such as have been guilty of murder robbery or arson . With the exception of the fugitives pent up in Navy Island , the wholeof the Upper Province is perfectly tranquil . . We are glad to observe that the tone of the Rovalist Journals in the Lower

Province is exceedingly temperate . We anticipate the speedy restoration of general tranquillity .- ^ Sun . Lower Canada . — -We were able to announce on Friday the unconditional : surrender of the iusurgents at Grand Brule , after the ¦ flight ' of their leaders , and ¦ on Saturday the return of Sir .. John Colbonie to Montreal , with the main body otvliis force . Small detachments ; were , sent to various parishes in the vicinity of the Two Mountains , to disarm the now penitent hubitans , and close the "business effectually .

Of the lenders at St . Eustaehe and Grand Briil ' e , Cheiiier was killed at the former place , W . H . Scott was taken on the 17 th , near St . Therese , arid G ' irod , finding himself 0 : 1 the point of being captured " , at Pointe aux trembles , put a pistol to his head and blew out his brains . Grrouard and Chartier were fugitives , but with scarcely a chance of finally escaping . . One hundred arid five prisoners were brought in from St . Eustaehe on the i 7 th , and twenty-six from other quarters . A inong the latter were " : two brothers named Masscm , oue of whom ¦' signalised himself last Summer by offering a reward for the head of Lord Goiford . . ¦

Upper Canada . —The latest information we have from Colonel M'Nab is in a despatch signed by him , and dated Scotland ( London district , ) Dec . 14 th , This place wiis the head-quarters of the insurgents -commanded b y Buncombe , about 400 iu number , aud .. Colonel M'Nab had pushed on with all speed to attack them , his o \ vtv detachment consisted of atiO rank and file , 150 volunteers from Branti ' ord ,. and lUl ) Indians under Colonel Ken :, He was t .: o kite , however , the insurgents moved oii ' on the night of the . loth , ' and as th , y could euteretain no hope of resisting the overwhelming force opposed to them , it was " supposed that they would disperse and their leaders liv the country .

Colonel M'Nab was joined on t . e afternoon of the I 4 th , by 1000 volunteers , and others were penring in from all quarters . He was to march on the Hiprniiig-bf-. the loth for the-township-of Norwich ( the most disailected part of the district ) - wrlil , f 00 men . :

lne Colaiiel had obtained possos .-ion of Dr . Dv . ncombe ' s papers , and also these of Mr . E . Malcolm-. He bud also ta \; en a number of prisoners , and seat them under guard to Hamilton . Sir L ' rancis Head has issued a proclamation , offering a reward ol" ' 2 , 000 dollars for the apprehension of Dr . Duncouilie , and 1 , 000 dollars each for E . Malcolm , Fin-lay Malcolm , and licbert Alway . The London Gazette of the 16 th says - , "News has just-: > rrivcd that Dr . Dii : ; combe , finding his army surrounded , had disbanded them , urid the men have all - . etur-ncd " quietly to ± eir homes . " This is \ ery probable , for it appears that the insurgents " weije completely hemmed in b y various bodies of voluiitcers-y-:: nio . untiiig . in all to nearly 3000 men .

, The Albany papers bring a report that Sir Frar . pis Head has " addressed a requisition to Governor Marcy , for the surrender of William Lyoii M'Kcazie , on a charge of le'l ony—robbing the mail , we presume . It would be the duty of Governor ? unrcy to give him up , if he had the power , but as M'Eenzie is at Navy-Isl : j :: d , neither the State of Nevv : York nor the Government of the United States has any legal power over him . —2 \ vw Yuri ; Commercial Advertise } , Dec . 2 " G , 10 a . m . ¦

Lowkk . Canada . —Defeat of tue . Can-a-BiAxe ; at St . Mustache —We have advices iVqm fiipntresil to the 15 th instant , which give some particulars of the . success- of the British troops under Sir J . Colborne , at St . Eustaehe . The troops encamped * on the night of thirlS ' th at St . Martin , which they left at seven .. o ' clock" on" the " morning . of the 14 th for St . Er . stache , by the way of St . Hose , where they crossed the ice from- the Isle of SvsuiS to the main land . On entering the village the troops were saluted by a volley of musketry fvom . the church of St . Eustaehe . The village was completely surrounded by the British , when they commenced a

well-directed fire upon the church , which haying been set on fire , compelled the Canadians to Hy in every direction that offered a possibility of escape . From 40 to 50 were killed and wounded , and about ' 100 ' . taken prisoners . The English had one killed and eight or . ten wounded . The Star bays Doctor AVolfved Nelson died in prison on the morning of the loth , from his late sufferings in attempting to escape from the province . He was an Englishman "b y , birth , and a man of considerable wealth . Sir John Co ) - borne was to march , on the morning of the loth : upon Grand Brule , where the Canadians . had been throwing up entrenchments for several weeks .:

Montriw \ t , Dec . 15 . —The troops took up their quarters at St . Martin during the night of Wednesday , and departed at seven o ' clock yesterday morning towards St . Eustaehe , but not in a direct line , for it was understood that the ice on the river in that way was not sufficiently strong to bear the wei ght o f so heavy a body as the artillery and cavalry . ¦ A detour was in consequence taken towards St . Rose ,, where the ice was crossed from Isle Jesus to the . main land . The line of march then proceeded upward along the right bank of the river , until the troops approached the village of St . Eustaehe j making a inarch from St . Martin of about twelve miles , whereas , in a direct line , it would only : consist of about six or seven . .

made a circuit round the village in fear -and ' took up positions to intercept the rebels ^ when they ' should be compelled to abandon their position . The church haying at length been set on fire , the rebels were seenflying in every direction , but hot withoist many of them having been killed and taken , prisoners ; ¦ The nunnery and presbytery , situated on either side of the church , which weie occupied by the " rebels , were also destroyed , as well as several ether houses in the village , particularly those of Scott and Cheriier . ;

Theloss on either side had not been accurately ascertained ; but it is reported that 80 of the rebels have be 6 n killed , and more than 100 taken prisoners Dr . J . 0 . Chenier was killed iu the yard of thi church . The Commander-ia-Chief , Girod , and Fereol Peltier are said to have taken to fli ght , toward St Benoit , immediately after the first fire . On the part of the troops we have no accounts of any havine been killed except one man , Mr . Gugy , while storming the saeristie , was sever ely , but not dangerousl y wounded , on the left shoulder the ball coming out at the right arm . The blaze arising from the burning houses of St . Eustaehe was distinctly seen last night from the rising ground in the rear of this city , towards the old race-course .

( From the Montreal Herald . ) On Thnrsdajwevenjng , the village ' of St . Eustaehe presented a heart- 'rending appearance , the whole of the lower portion being one sheet of lurid flame . It is supposed that about fifty houses have : been burnt ^ and . nothi ng now is left of them but stone walls or sclitary chimneys . The moon looked blue and ' -wan throu gh the thick and curling smoke , and seemed as _ : f mourn ng over the melancholy sceQe .
